It is interesting how most of the commenters, even here, automatically think about a dystopian future where "a bad result => eliminate the embryo, abort it".
This is a specific kind of dystopia in which genetic damage is "read only" and cannot be altered. But genetic therapies are being developed, too. One day, we will be able to fix quite a lot of those problems already in utero.
This may yet breed another kind of dystopic nightmares, but I would expect a much more mixed scenarios; a better future for some people who would either be aborted or suffer from debilitating conditions for all their lives.
